Morning All !
OneEye's surgery went well. She has a slightly deformed eye lid now but can focus both eyes and they are bright and clear!  We did the full week of antibiotics and eye drops for all three kittens with no complications. They lived in the bathroom and loved the little "bomb shelter" hole under the towel cabinet to play in and hide. Bathing them was no torment. They seemed to like the water. Momma Spike would stand at the door of the kitchen and look in, with her crossed eyes and that long white slash of white hair in between. I never know if its just the slightly off center placing of her white stripe or if she is actually cross eyed. You look at her straight on and you want to lean to the left somehow.

She has taken to wandering into the house in the morning. Big Daddy Popeye has ventured through the cat door once, but prefers to just look in and glare at us. Almost as if to say " FEED ME, asshole!" Her sibling, Boots, comes in also but does not stay beyond a curious look around the kitchen door at the group here in the living room.

Oprah has gone. I noticed a definite sense of curious adventure crop up since then. this wandering thing only started after she left. Was she telling them stories about the evil big people that lived in the house? Do cats communicate the way people do? What would they say about us in general? Are we really a group of ignorant slobs? Are THEY really THAT arrogantly stand-off-ish? Cats are so weird!
